He does kind of, except for the fact that Settles was big time from his first game, pretty much. Their games may be the same, but the level of their games, when Settles was healthy, we're way different. I don't mean that as a slight. Settles was that good, when healthy.

That wouldn't prevent a guy like McCabe from improving to that point, though. Just because Settles was great from Day 1 doesn't mean McCabe can't be as great after developing for a couple years.

I'm not saying McCabe is as good as Settles. But it's possible that it's more than just style of play that's drawing comparisons.

HawkeyeRyno's yearly assessment of Fran's recruiting:

Really? Because judging by how many of Fran's top targets have committed elsewhere so far and Iowa has no commitments I'd say recruiting trail has been a struggle so far for Fran for the [insert current recruiting year] class.
